Genprex announced positive clinical study updates for its Acclaim-1 and Acclaim-3 clinical trials for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and small cell lung cancer (SCLC), respectively, and plans to re-focus its oncology clinical development program.
Genprex evaluated resource allocations to ensure streamlined, focused strategies to support expeditious regulatory submissions for REQORSA and will implement the following changes to the Company's oncology clinical development plans in order to prioritize resources and focus on the most promising aspects of the Acclaim-1 and Acclaim-3 lung cancer clinical trials.
The Acclaim-2 clinical trial, a Phase 1/2 trial evaluating the combination of REQORSA and Merck & Co's Keytruda® in patients with late-stage NSCLC whose disease has progressed after treatment with Keytruda, will cease enrollment of new NSCLC patients. Current patients in the Phase 1 dose escalation portion of the study will continue to be treated until disease progression. The Company made this decision based on a number of factors, including enrollment challenges and delays due to competition for eligible patients with numerous other trials involving the same patient population.
As described above, the Company will limit its enrollment efforts for the Phase 2a expansion portion of the Acclaim-1 study moving forward to patients who received only prior Tagrisso treatment and cease enrollment of the second cohort (patients who received prior Tagrisso treatment and chemotherapy). The Phase 2a expansion portion of the trial with one cohort is now expected to enroll approximately 33 patients. The Company continues to evaluate ways to optimize its clinical and research programs and operational strategies, as part of its ongoing prioritization initiative.
